Tonetti represents South Tyrol at the World Cup premiere – many stars skip the show

The parallel format, which is now anchored in the World Cup, will be held for the first time, and for the first time a women's and a men's individual decision will be linked into one event. From the Azzurri's point of view, Federica Brignone, Marta Bassino, Laura Pirovano, Lara Della Mea or Luca De Aliprandini, Giovanni Borsotti, Giovanni Franzoni and Riccardo Tonetti from Bolzano will start.

The format used is that which was also seen at the World Cup in Lech/Zürs. First there is a qualification (from 9 a.m.) with only one run, only 16 runners make it to the decision (from 14 p.m.). In the final there are two runs per duel, each athlete runs a red and a blue course. The distance between the gates is between 16 and 20 meters and the race is done with giant slalom skis. Will the medal ban break on Tuesday? At the World Cup premiere in Lech/Zürs, no Azzurro was able to concentrate for the final among the men. However, Tonetti didn't even start at that time. He showed that he is in a good mood on Monday in the combination (7th place). Can Marta Bassino save Italy from the medal curse? © ANSA / LUCIANO SOLERO

For the women, Bassino and Brignone qualified for the finals at the World Cup in Vorarlberg. They ultimately ended up in 5th and 7th place. On Tuesday, of course, they want to fight for a medal at the home World Cup in order to finally calm down an entire nation. Pinturault, Kristoffersen, Shiffrin & Co. not there In view of the tight schedule in the second week of the World Ski Championships in Cortina, several well-known technicians will forego the parallel competition on Tuesday. In the men's category, the two-time medalist Alexis Pinturault from France is missing, as is the Norwegian Henrik Kristoffersen, while in the women's category, both the gold and bronze winners of the combination, Mikaela Shiffrin and Michelle Gisin, "skip" the event.

“My affection for Parallel is very, very low” Michelle Gisin The American Shiffrin had decided before the start of the World Cup that she would only compete in Super-G, which she finished with the bronze medal, combination, giant slalom and slalom. After starting in downhill and super-G, Gisin is expected to also compete in the giant slalom and slalom. “My affection for the Parallel is very, very low. “I’m actually not that good at it,” said the Swiss on Monday.
